It was a great game. Vasquez took over with a minute to play, and his last shot was remarkable.

Traveling.

LOL, My Wife said "He traveled". I said yes he ended his dribble with his right foot in contact with the floor, picked it up, stepped, put it down, then jumped to shoot. She said "Well I can't explain it but I knew it when I saw it" :p

She's qualified to begin coaching immediately.

Not sure which foot was which, but as I recall his pivot was just inside the top of the key, and he wound up taking the shot halfway down the lane.

Yes, I'm serious.

Wow, seriously?

The entire Maryland student body is screaming F#CK YOU, SCHEYER and you're worried about one little coach on the sidelines?

That's rich. No pun intended.

I must have missed it; where did he say the other stuff was ok?

You'd think a 63 year old man would be a better example. I'd be all for the schools clearing out student sections for vulgar chants, too.

A dumb commentator comment. So what else is new? This happened in the first five minutes of the game. I wonder how many more he'll chalk up before the end of the contest?


Yeah those stupid commentators..., a little while later I heard one of the commentators say that a time out had been called by one of the teams, when clearly it was a "TV time out." OMG what a total freakin idiot! How could he possibly make such a mundane mistake? The games would be soooooooo much more interesting to view if former referee's were providing the commentary. These former coach guys just run there mouths, blah, blah, blah, far too much to say.

I know that referee's would do well because of all the facinating referee pod casts in itunes, not to mention the shelf after shelf of interesting books written by officials at Barnes & Noble.

Well... there actually is that one written by Donahey(sp) about CHEATING! :eek:

I've followed Md basketball for many, many yrs. The student body has been classless there for a long time. Heck, the band can't even play one song there as the crowd turns it into a gutterel (sp) chant.

Gary Williams even pleaded with them one game several yrs ago to show a little class - uh, not so much. A sad commentary to where our society is going and the difference between fun and yuk!

Of course, this conversation could be said about other sports too......

Other fun commentator comments from this week. I watched most of the Tennessee/Arkansas game...and yes, I cheer for Tennessee. Bruce Pearl goes nuts early in the second half over something worthless and gets T'd up. And rightly so. Tennessee goes on an 8-2 run and the commentators keep mentioning that the T was a great motivator for Tennessee. One of them even says that not only are the players responding to the T, so are the officials. They are now making the calls Bruce wanted called!:confused: Do they really think that is how it works?

Speaking of stuff fans do, quite a few years ago there was a UCLA-USC game on TV. One of the UCLA fans was holding a sign that read "FLUSH USED TROJANS". The TV cameras showed it at least a dozen times. I just cracked up each time.
